    G.I. Joe Classified One-A-Day Beamish-Style Poll - #63 - Amber (Animated)

    I started getting double vision but it went undiagnosed for too long (GET GOOD EYE DOCTORS) and I somehow, without realizing that the muscles around my left eye were weakening, "trained" my right eye to be the one to stay focused. I'm still kind of trying to get it sorted. Constant annoyance...

    G.I. Joe Classified One-A-Day Beamish-Style Poll - #63 - Amber (Animated)

    I didn't know Major Bludd had a cybernetic arm until I got the first Classified figure. NO IDEA. Neurotic thing with his design though - I sometimes wish his cybernetic eye lined up with his cybernetic arm because I feel like it'd more naturally feel like he can use the eye as a targeting tool...

    G.I. Joe Classified Series

    The only time I really regret buying what I like without strong guardrails is that I can't have everything out at the same time, and I'll sometimes just have an existential crisis of "I truly love all this stuff, but sometimes some of it is stored in a box in my studio." But also one of my huge...

    I have to do mental gymnastics for Shockwave not being ACAB. He's SWAT, the B-est of Cs.

    G.I. Joe Classified Series

    Whenever I see folks talking about their personal restrictions on buying I feel like I overdo it, but I'm not a completionist in any line, really, I just buy something if it gets my mind going. But I also didn't start seriously collecting as an adult until my 40s and I'm not 50 yet, so I don't...

    Masters of the Universe: Origins

    I've kinda moved on, too, but I know they'll get me every few months with something interesting. I'm okay with this being a back burner line to collect compared to everything else cos I have most of what I want. I had to give up being a completionist when they made Rokkon so impossible to get.

    If I can square the circle on Shockwave and on BATs, I can with Sherlock. Sure, I'm in.

    G.I. Joe Classified - The Wishlists

    I keep calling Starduster Clouddburster and I'm not even trying to be mean about it, it just keeps popping out.

    McFarlane DC Multiverse

    It's both a compliment and an insult, because it's a REALLY good likeness,and McF likenesses are usually awful. It's legit impressive.

    Fix Bucks is the name I use at the clinic.

    G.I. Joe Classified - The Wishlists

    I feel like they'd knock a ridiculous character like Voltar out of the park. they made me like Darklon, and I'm already inclined to like whatever they do with Voltar. (Same thing with Zanzibar, I feel like he'd just be ridiculous, in a good way.)

    G.I. Joe Classified - The Wishlists

    I guess I should update my wishlist: Spearhead and Max (This goes without saying Airtight Scoop Muskrat Flash Voltar Zanzibar Interrogator TARGAT Fast Draw Focus on unmade characters. Other CCs, Serpentor, Destro (IG!) all should be on the top ten list but I'd rather see new characters first.

    Me just now: "I don't like Big Boa enough to buy him twice - wait... I didn't... I was unaware... muscle mommy... I, so, ah, where do I preorder?"

    Y'know, the impulse buy thing - I was picking up a birthday gift for my nephew last night (he's into HOT WHEELS - kids are into HOT WHEELS in 2025? I found a car that was also a taco as a bonus gift I taped to his card, the taco car was a hit) and while I was looking for something for him I saw...

    The Reading Room

    This is why we get along, isn't it. Me quoting a pariah again, but Midnighter to Apollo in their first appearance in Stormwatch: "No, a finer world is a small thing to ask." We're not asking for much, asking for a better world. The bar's real fuckin low. I quote that almost as often as I quote...

    And selfishly I feel like they probably bleed recreational dollars away from artist alley, though to be fair anyone at a con buying a pop is there to buy a pop and not likely commissioning and up and coming artist for a sketch or something. More likely they're funneling recreational dollars off...

    McFarlane DC Multiverse

    Got Catwoman and... maybe the most accurate face sculpt of a real person I've got from Todd? At least in DC. But I will never not hate his obsession with posing the figures in the plastic, cos poor Michell is curved like contact lens. Totally unnecessary.

    Master list of Characters still to be made as Classified

    Oh I am ABSOLUTELY for that. Just throw Ace on a Retro card, I'll buy him. I don't need a Havoc for Cross Country. I just bet they're holding back on potential Haslab exclusives etc. (I bet we get Lift Ticket with a smaller vehicle, for example.)

    Funko nearing bankruptcy

    Honestly, any disgruntled takes I have regarding POPs just the shear amount of real estate they take up at the cons I work. Just walls of them that make it hard to find your way around. If they were just A Thing and not The Thing I'd think they were cute. Also it super annoyed me in a really...

    Master list of Characters still to be made as Classified

    That is a hell of a list! It's crazy to me how much they've done from those first few years already and that most of the missing characters are heavily associated with vehicles, which makes me wonder how, if ever we'll get guys like Ace or Heavy Metal.

    The Reading Room

    I swear this is why most of the great cyberpunk writers pivoted. BTW, I know Ellis is a pariah but his short novel NORMAL has stuck with me for years because it takes place in a mental health facility for experts who look at and attempt to solve the world's problems and go a bit crazy from...

    I wonder what comic cons will look like without Pops. (Just kidding. They made enough pops to supply con vendors for the next 75 years.) I have… four? All gifts. The Will and Lying Cat from Saga, no regrets there, and Clint/Kate/Pizza Dog. I’m amazed they made it this long.
